If the island provides food and water, then I still need shelter and clothing before anything else. And then toiletries/1st aid kit.

I wouldn't have a tent or tarp or sleeping bag or anything like that with me on a cruise, so this wouldn't be easy.

I'd take linens from the bed in the room to use as tarps and blankets, and maybe two changes of clothes and any outer wear I have with me. I'd wear most of that and not try to fit in the backpack unless I couldn't wear it.

I'd look around the room for anything I could use as cord. Maybe take a sheet to tear into strips to make some crude rope to hang the tarp. I'd be wearing sneakers, and I'd stuff a pair of flip flops into the bag. Then all the toiletries I could manage, starting with first aid stuff, glasses, sunscreen, insect repellent, and then stuff like cleansers, contact lenses, tooth brush, etc. only if they fit. If I could get them all to fit, then I'd do a couple books next. I have a tiny keychain leatherman that would be in my pocket, but I wouldn't have any other tools with me on a cruise, which sucks. I'd want tools on the island. Oh well.

And then I'd stick the waterproof satellite phone in my pocket.

Shoes--my reeboks, I'll probably be barefooted most of the time
Books--tougher reads like War and Peace and assorted Russian authors, good time to discipline my reading habits
Weapons--ugh. A knife I suppose. I can use that for other things than killin'
Candy--Reese's cups
Pet--Gaines, he's pretty small, and would probably love monkeys
Toys--some sort of building set
Toiletries--razor, shampoo, soap
Gadgets--multi-tool
Liquor (they're allowing you one bottle from the bar)--one bottle? What will I drink the other 11 months and 29 days? Leaves out beer. OK, Jose Cuervo it is.
Games--trivial pursuit
Paperwork--cryptic ("british style") crosswords
Linens--6million count egyptian cotton sheet set and a down pillow
Electronics--laptop
Clothes--shorts, t-shirts, socks
Food (must already be in your luggage/cabin)--mike-sells potato chips
Sports/exercise equipment--my feet
Hobby stuff--more books
Anything Else--another warm body, well not just ANY warm body

I'm no survivor. I'd be dead in a week anyway! :lol:
